Component
Measure resistance of thermal fuse from
terminal to terminal.
Open at 360° ± 12° F (182° ± 7° C) ........
Auto reset −31° F (−35° C)
Measure resistance of the following
terminals:
Terminals 1 − 2 ..................................
Measure resistance of the following
terminals:
Terminals 1 − 3 ..................................
Heat thermostat with a small flame until a
distinct click is heard.
Terminals 1 − 2 ..................................
Disconnect wire terminals and measure
resistance of terminals.
Terminal to terminal...............................
Measure resistance of the switch:
Door closed
1 − COM
Terminals 1 − 3 ..................................
2 − N.C.
Door opened
3 − N.O.
Terminals 1 − 2 ..................................
Measure resistance of switch positions:
Closed (ON position) .........................
Open
Measure resistance of the switch in the
following positions:
Off ................... A − Open...................
Low ................. A − 1 .........................
Medium............. A − 2 .........................
High.................. A − 1 − 2 ...................
Place switch in the positions indicated in
the chart.
Measure resistance of the terminals
indicated.
X indicates continuity (< 1 Ω)
Verify input and output voltage is
present.

Results
If thermal fuse is open, both thermal fuse
and thermostat limit must be replaced.
